X = the age of Mr. Gilliam
His wife is 3 years older, so the age of Mr. Gilliam's wife = x+3
The sum of their ages is 95.
Mr. Gilliam is 46 years old.
5x+20+16
the expression is 5x+36
Answer:
$9.68
Step-by-step explanation:
64.54 * 0.15 = 9.68
The information from the first equation gives you the information needed for the second. To solve the first equation you must rearrange the equation to isolate X. In order to do that you can first move the 3 to the other side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides (5x + 3 - 3 = 4 - 3) and then simplify that to (5x = 4 - 3) and further to (5x = 1). Then to move the 5 you must divide both sides by 5 so you get (5x/5 = 1/5) which can be simplified to (x = 1/5)
From this you can use the X value and input it into the second equation
Y = -3(1/5) and then solve for Y.
Hope this helps!
